Tyler Arnason is earning a bit of praise from the Rocky Mountain News:

Tyler Arnason reported to training camp in tip-top shape, physically and mentally, and is on a mission to make the Avalanche look shrewd for signing him as a free agent.

So far, he’s making a favorable impression.

AS nice as that is, let’s not go too crazy here. We’re only talking about camp and the Burgundy and White game here. The intersquad game was won 4-3 by the Burgundy team, of which Arnason was not a part of. He did score a goal though. Also, Jose Theodore stopped every shot (21) sent his way.

Tonight, the Avs take on the Stars at the Pepsi Center, in the first ‘real’ preseason game. I will not be going, even though it’s only 6 blocks away. I have other plans, and will be executing them to perfection. More on that later.

Also, I know I promised the Red Wings smack back to IwoCPO at Abel2Yzerman. It’s coming, probably tomorrow. Patience, young Skywalker.
